TOBACCO-PIPE.

SPECIFICATION vforming part of Letters Patent No. 768,444, dated. August 23, 1904, Application inea October 21, 1903. Serial No. 177,863. (No model.)

.To all whom, it may concern: y

Be it known that I, JAMES 1). EREEMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Kalamazoo, in the county of Kalamazoo and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in TobaccorPipes, of

which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in tobacco-pipes.

The object'of this invention is to provide an I, improved tobacco-pipe which is compact and simple in structure and attractive in appearance by lwhichthe nicotin and other liquids formed by the burning of the tobacco and the'- saliva and moisture which may enter the smoke-passage are collected.

Another object is to provide an improved tobacco-pipe embodying the above features in which the matter collected may be conveniently and quickly removed.,

Further objects and objects relating to structural details willl delinitely appear in the detailed description to follow.

. ,I accomplish the objects of my inventionby` the devices and means described in the following specification.

The invention is clearly defined, and pointed out inthe claims.

A structure embodying the features of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings-,'forminga part ofthis specicatiom in which'-l Figure 1 is a plan .viewof my improved tobacco-pipe. Fig. 2 is a'detail longitudinal sectional view taken on line 2 2 of Fig'. 1 looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends ofthe section-line.`

In the drawings similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views. Referring to the drawings, the bowl A is provided with a short stem-nipple'A, having a chamber a therein. The 'stem B. is adapted to be inserted` in the outer end of the chamberv a, thereby'closingthe same. The smoke-passage of the stem Bis made up of passages I) b L". The passage b at the inner'or bowl end of the stem is formed -in'the upper portion thereof. V.The passage b at the delivery end o'f the stem 'the stem. This chamber is formed in the lower portion of the stem, below the passage b, and opens ,into the chamber a when the stem is in position. The chamber c also opens into the passages b /"at its innerend, so that any fluid The inner ends ofthe passages passage b", which is v passing't'hrough the passages would be deliv- This may be of any material desired, cotton being preferred, as the same is entirely effective and is easily obtained.

With the parts thus arranged the nicotin or other liquid'formed in the bowl fiows into the chamber c and is absorbed bythe absorbent material c'. Also the greater portion of the heavyvapors is absorbed-by contact with the absorbent material or is condensed in the chamber a andpassage and is thenreadily absorbed, so that the greater portion Vof the noxious vapors is removed from the smoke.

The saliva -and moisture which 'pass into the passage arev also absorbed, thereby preventing their passage in'to the bowl of the pipe,

where. they cause the generation of noxious vapors or gases and glve adisa'greeable iiavor to the smoke.

As before stated, the nicotin and other in jurous liquids and vapors are absorbed so that they are not drawn into the mouth of the smoker, andthe moisture and saliva from the mouth are also collected.. so that they do not vered thereto. Apackingcof absorbent ma- .tei-iai, is'provided for the chamber c.

pass into the bowl andv cannot be withdrawn into the mouth of thesmoker.

The absorbent material is very quickly and conveniently removed when' necessary or desired and a fresh supply inserted. This oper'- ation is cleanlyand not in the leastdisagreeable, as is the case whereymaterial is collected in a receptacle. By this arrangement ofthe parts the smoke-passage is entirely -unobstructed, which lis ot' course very advant: i My improved pipe is also very economical to construct and is compact andatgeous.

trat-.tive in appearance. The stem is formed ot asingle piece,with the passages and chambers formed therein.

W ith the chambers arranged as described 5 .they can all be readily bored without the aid of any special tools. The passages b 7) and the chamber c are bored. from the ends ot' the stem, the passage b" is bored from the bottom of the stem to connect the passages b b', and the plug d, as indicated inthe drawings, is inserted to seal the open end of the same. It is evident to those skilled in the art that this operation is very simple.

I have illustrated and described my improved pipe in thei'orni preferred by me on account of its simplicity of construction, neat appearance, and the economy with which it can be produced. It is evident, however, that it can be considerably varied in structural details without departing from my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what .i I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a tobaccop1pe,'the combination of a i bowl A having a stemnipple A' with a chamber. a therein; a stem B adapted to Ht into the outer endof said chamber; a smoke-passage in said stem consisting of a passage b formed in thel upper portion of the bowl end thereof; a passage 7) in the delivery end of said stem, the inner end of which terminates below the inner end of said passage b; a passage b" connecting said (passages b 6'; a chamber c op'ening at the inner end of said stem and opening into said passages b' 6; and a'suitable absorbent material in said chamber c.

2. In atobacco-pipe, the combination of a suitable bowl A; a stem B; a smokepassage in said stem consisting of a passage I) formed in the upper portion of the bowl end thereof;

a passage b' in the delivery end of said stem, the inner end of which terminates below the inner end of said passage b; a passage b" connecting said passages b 6'; a chamber c opening at the inner end of said stern and opening into said passages b 5"; and a suitable absorbent material in said chamber e.-

. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two witnesses.
